The Proofs of Bahá’u’lláh’s Mission

June 19, 2017

“The teachings of Bahá’u’lláh emphatically assert that the Founders of the world religions are all agents of one civilizing process, revealers of one, eternal “Faith of God.” These souls, called Manifestations of God by Bahá’u’lláh, have a twofold station. As representatives of the same Divine Being, their spirit is one. Yet, each comes to earth as a distinct individual, at a specific time, and with a prescribed mission. Their purpose is to educate and guide humanity, to stimulate the progress of social development, and to prepare the world for the coming of the next Divine Messenger. Bahá’u’lláh describes their collective mission by using the analogy of teachers in a school, who teach children at their current level of understanding, building on what was taught before and preparing them for the next grade to come….

This introductory volume can only provide a sampling of the many passages from the Bahá’í writings that address this important theme. The objective is to present the breath of the issues related to Bahá’u’lláh’s claim.” Excerpt from The Proofs of Bahá’u’lláh’s Mission

Lights of Guidance
This compilation was prepared by Mrs. Hornby and last printed in 1997. It is now 20 years out of date but it remains a useful starting point for study on a wide range of subjects. As compilations by definition only contain excerpts and not complete letters, there is always the danger that the information contained may be understood in a way that is inconsistent with the intent of the original response. As always, turn to the appropriate Bahá’í institution for guidance.

Bahá’u’lláh’s Teachings on Spiritual Reality

“Just as science is the source of understanding the laws of physical reality, true religion, based on scientific methods stripped of empty tradition and superstition, is a source of understanding of the laws of spiritual reality.”

Shoghi Effendi: Author of Teaching Plans

February 25, 2017

This book, another extraordinary work by Mr. Nakhjávání presents the second course given by him in Acuto Italy (February 2005).

Shoghi Effendi: The Range and Power of His Pen by Mr. ‘Alí Nakhjávání
This book, the result of a course given by Mr. Nakhjavani in Acuto Italy in February 2006 considers “the wide range of the works of Shoghi Effendi, both in English and in Persian/ Arabic, and cast a panoramic and cursory glance over the contents of each of his major writings. The beloved Guardian, in the course of his blessed ministry, provided the friends and the general public with a reliable survey of the significant and historical Bahá’í events of the Heroic Age, an overview of the stages enabling the current Administrative Order of the Faith to become the nucleus and pattern of the future institutions of world society, and a unique and authentic translation into English of the fundamental Writings of the Founder of the Faith. Through the power of his inspired pen Shoghi Effendi also succeeded in carrying the Community of the Most Great Name from its modest and rudimentary beginnings to a stage of development enabling it to be a potent instrument, well-equipped to realize and put into effect the exalted ideals which distinguish the divine message of Bahá’u’lláh.”

Selections from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh for Bahá’í Holy Days

Excerpt from the Preface of this new book:

“The present volume offers forty-five selections from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh revealed specifically for, or otherwise relating to, these nine Holy Days. The selections represent different revelatory modes, each reflecting facets of the greatness, the preciousness, and the peerless nature of this Day in which all the promises and prophecies of the past have been fulfilled—this sacred Day “whereon God hath made His own Self known and revealed it unto all who are in the heavens and on earth”. Some of the Tablets and excerpts presented in the volume are addressed to the body of Bahá’u’lláh’s followers and are expressed in a celebratory and uplifting tone, occasionally with repeated refrains, while others were revealed to individual believers, sometimes with a mention of the specific circumstances of their revelation or the names of the recipients. Many are among His best-known works and have long been familiar to readers of His Writings in the original languages….

It is hoped that this volume will uplift the hearts and souls of the followers of the Blessed Beauty throughout the world and will enrich the gatherings they hold in commemoration of those days that stand apart from all other days through their association with Him and His Herald.”
